Old Glock guy

Of course, I have no idea what I'm going to do with them if they pass a 10 round mag limit.

Thanks! Just ordered three.

Aren't they supposed to use a crossbow or something similar at that time of night?

I considered both of those for a carry gun, but ended up getting the Springfield XD9 SC. It's a little wider than those, but from what I can tell (hey, I'm still pretty new to all this) it has a nice trigger.

I do not have a G17, but I love my G34. It's my absolute favorite of my handguns. My GF used it at a First Steps Pistol class on Sunday, and loved it as well. She had never shot a gun in her life before that, but managed to produce a fairly tight group at seven yards with it.

Nice! I have almost the exact same thing, but with an 18.5 inch barrel (5+1 capacity). I love it, and you will too. Best of luck with it.

I have not read through this whole thread, but is the government buying up ammo to keep it away from us?

Just a few minutes ago I heard an interview with him saying that he wants to spend his remaining time working on tighter gun control, among other things.

Yes, my thoughts exactly.

Greetings from Wayne.

You may want to consider something like this combo: http://mossberg.com/product/shotguns-pump-action-500-combo/54169-0?u_barrel=28%22+Vent+Rib%2C+Ported+%26+18.5%22@28~465&nodeRef=2341,2343,2346,2347,2349,2352&redirect=1&lastnode=1&filterNodes=2346 You hinted that you prefer the black synthetic look to the wood, and I feel the same way, even though I know that many here prefer the classic look of the wood. I ended up getting a short barrel SG for home defense (two, actually), and another with a 28" barrel for breaking clays. Yes, you can shoot clays with the shorter barrel, especially skeet; but I think it would be tough for trap, as those suckers get out there pretty quickly.

Nice work Vlad G. These people, and especially Cryan, are unwilling to listen to reason, preferring instead to use the emotional appeal that we need to do something "for the children" to disarm us. I have not heard one of them explain just how their proposals will help to keep kids safe. Not sure if Frank F. and Scott B. would agree, but since the legislative process seems to be stacked against us, it may be time to use guerilla tactics to dig up and publicize the dirt on some of these hypocrites.

I'm sorry, I thought I answered your question. If none of us were able to provide the response for which you were looking, perhaps you were unclear on what you were asking. Good luck in whatever it is you are seeking.

Senator Van Drew, a Democrat from Cape May County is one of our staunchest pro-gun allies.

It is indeed a sad state of affairs that we need to be concerned with technicalities like that in the state of NJ, but as has been noted, you're OK at the range.

I was wondering whether or not to spend the extra cash for a Geissele trigger for my Stag Arms Model 2, but after reading through this thread, I'm convinced that it would be a good move. Thanks for all the advice!

Bertus, I was a little reluctant to reply to you, given your disrespect and uncivility towards Nick, who is quite knowledgeable and an all-around good guy; especially since you only have a handful of posts on this forum. But I can relate to a lot of what you say, so I'll take a stab at a reply (pun intended). I totally understand your reluctance to spend thousands of hours practicing skills that are extremely unlikely to ever be needed. I can think of a lot of things I would rather be doing, like shooting for instance. OTOH, I agree with you that there is not much point in carrying a knife (uh oh, another pun!) if one does not have at least a bit of an idea of what to do with it, other than presenting it in hopes an attacker will flee. I don't know if you have read the article that Nick linked to. If not, I would strongly recommend it. One of the first points they make is that there is really no such thing as "knife fighting," just knife attacks. IMHO, it's good to have some basic skills if one hopes to survive such an encounter. I have taken this class at Gun For Hire: http://gunforhire.co...efensive-knife/ MDTS also has a basic defensive knife class. Not sure if that's the kind of thing that you had in mind. I would also suggest you look into some of the training videos from Target Focus Training. While they are not specific for knives, they take the approach that surviving a deadly encounter is not a matter of, "If he does this, you do that," etc. Their focus is that your job when confronted with violence is to inflict an incapacitating injury on your attacker as quickly as possible. It's clearly not for when some guy wants to fight you for spilling a drink on him or looking at him funny. It's reserved for when your life is threatened by an asocial psychopath bent on violence. I would be open to putting together a group to practice once in awhile. I'm up in Wayne. LMK if you're interested.

I guess that is what I was thinking. Thanks Bob, I stand corrected.

I believe it's just the opposite. If he doesn't sign them, that's a "pocket veto." Seems like that might be something he would do with these, or so we hope.

Good luck trying to find an AR in the current state of affairs. IMHO you might consider waiting several months for things to quiet down, unless of course they put a ban on them. If you're looking at something for home defense, perhaps consider a shotgun. As far as I know, they are still somewhat available.

I took this class yesterday, Sunday, 2/10 at their Cedar Grove location. I have neither the time nor the energy of The Wombat to provide a detailed review, but I can tell that the class was informative, interesting, and fast-paced, as has been the case with all of my training with GFH. There were two instructors for just seven students (one student had to leave early), so the ratio was excellent. Joe was his usual entertaining, energetic self; and Mac was quietly proficient as his co-instructor. As always, there was a strong emphasis on safety. From their website, here's the course description: Course Description: The Gun For Hire Level 2 Urban Carbine Course is for shooters wishing to push their shooting and weapon manipulation skills to the next level. The student will learn how to operate with the carbine in an urban setting out to 25 yards. This class is designed to push the student and their carbine to the next level. The student will be introduced to several new high-level shooting drills under stress. The student will also be introduced to moving in buddy teams and basic room clearing and building search techniques with a partner. Their will also be an introduction into fighting in and around vehicles. This course is also a prerequisite for our Level 3 Program. And the syllabus: Topics covered to include: Gear selection and placement Shooting positions Magazine reloads (review) Malfunction drills Shooting on the move Shooting from behind cover Engaging multiple targets and multiple threats while on the move. Stress drills One-handed weapon manipulation (to include weak handed only drills) Transition to pistol drills Moving in buddy teams Moving off line of threat Moving from cover to cover position Shooting out to 25 yards Advanced building search and room clearing techniques We covered most of the topics above, and were given a choice as to which drills to repeat or emphasize. I would highly recommend this class for anyone looking to expand his or her knowledge and comfort level with the AR.

Or Glenn, who has been coming on strong of late.

Anyone watch last night? I thought it was a good episode, but I'm starting to have serious concerns about Rick. And could Tyrese and his friends have picked a worse time to ask to stay?

I carry a Springfield XD 9 SC when I'm in Free America (when I'm not going out to bars, which unfortunately is most of the time when I'm away).

While we all enjoy seeing numbers like that, Newsmax is a pretty conservative news outlet.
